Returning with new works after next week...

Fri Dec 4, 2009, 6:11 PM
Howdy peeps! It's been forever.

First of all, let me list some new works I should hopefully have up soon! I've got a few watercolor pieces I've been meaning to upload, though it won't be until after next week (Finals week). I've been experimenting with the medium, and I'm really digging it. Once I have the time for some personal projects I'll prolly let fly with those. I've also got a massive costume design project with nine renderings all in watercolor due next week. I'm designing Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' with a twist: All of the main characters are dwarves. Much more fun that way. On top of that I have five foot by five foot scene painting project due. Am painting a vintage image of Puss in Boots I found online for the piece.

College for me is not a spectacular thing right now. I've been leaning farther and farther away from theatrical works. I'm not sure whether or not it's simply I'm burned out on college theater (Nearly an impossible thing, as your trying to put on shows, and do a TON of classwork all on seriously conflicting schedules!) or that my focus has truly changed. I've been very focused on puppetry and mascot work, but with my outside job, money restrictions, and classwork I've not been able to work on this at all.

More and more I'm trying to pick up on my artwork itself again. I wonder if choosing to go into theater was not the best idea. I've been leaning much more towards children's book illustration, which nearly all of my professors seem to think is a marvelous idea. I get nothing but good compliments on my classwork drawing skills, and I'm starting to feel that if I give it my all again that I could succeed at it. My love-hate relationship with my art is slowly swinging towards love... >>.....

So here's hoping for a solid return soon. I may be cleaning up my deviations soon and trying to get them better organized, and removing several that just don't make the cut for me anymore.

What can I say, life is weird. My mate and I have a new pet, a ferret named Sabriel. She's a sweetie bear, and I loves her. We gave her a bath today and she went nutters in the living room, drying off. Adorable!

Stay tuned for the completed CATBUS character plush from My Neighbor Totoro; it's only got a bit of detailing left to do, and I hope to finish him tommorrow afternoon or this weekend.

Maybe I'll throw some sketches or lineart up as well?

I have returned for a brief time from the depths of Northrend and Warcraft, lol. I have been so swamped with personal issues, homework and game playing I just haven't been able to even get the urge to pick up a pen, much less finish a work.

I'm focused right now on getting my classwork done for a now more focused major "Costume, props, and crafts technician". Specifically in puppetry and fantasy costumes. It's going well so far, and I'm getting a lot of support from my somewhat amazed professors. Until I started that fursuit head, I had no iea I could sculpt as such, and Judith believes that with effort and time I could easily get a full ride for a masters degree in costume and puppetry work.

Most of my more traditional work has been downgraded to great doodles on not so great lined paper during class. My friends are constantly impressed, but I just haven't felt the artistic touch recently, you know? I've had a lot of emotional and personal issues arise since my failed journey to Disney and my family's financial situation isn't helping. Oh, and my grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fun times all around.

But I've been trying to get back into the flow of things recently, and at least -work- on cleaning up some of these good drawings in photoshop... too bad I can't work that program very well! Been trying to get out some fan art of Brunnstag, my dwarven hunter from WoW on here too, but am having issues producing rently...

Here's hoping I can get my stuff together here and rejoin the artistic world and my friends here on DA!

Hello all.

Just made a major 'watch dump'- have had a list of around 100 DA profile pages in my favorites for 2 years. Decided to go through all of them and watch who I wanted to watch; just have to delete the bookmark folder. As such the 'friends' thing on my page has been turned off until I get the chance to sort it out again.

Finally got a new laptop- the first one dell sent out was corrupted somehow, but I recieved another today. You can read all about the crazyness with the computers on my livejournal, linked below. There's plenty of ranting and blue screens of death there- I don't feel much like reiterating it all. Will be copying all my files back over today.

In other news, is anyone wanting to give World of Warcraft a shot? I collect mounts on there, and I can get an exclusive mount (And level you hella fast) if I 'recruit' you. Please drop me a note if you'd like to help out. You will have to buy the game and a small subscription, but who knows, you may love it!

PS. Disregard the emoticon mood- it's not showing properly on my browser and I can't change it... O.o

Heyhoo all! Just wanted to let you guys know about my new art blog: Banjo's Scratchpad. [link] In an effort to get some work done on my art, I put up a place where I can showcase my wips, sketches and random stuff where (If anyone actually reads the darn thing, which I doubt!) they'll actually get seen; unlike the 'scraps' folder here.

You can also catch me at my livejournal: [link]
YouTube Account: [link]
As well as my FA account. Since that site contains ault artwork, I don
t put links to it everywhere. if you'd like a link to my galery there, please note me!
